Life is full of challenges and it is NOTHING like the Physical Challenge on Double Dare

Screw you Mark Summers! You came into my home everyday when I was growing up. You entered my life and home via the TV. Here are some lessons that I have learned from your show that I have found to not be worth a hill of beans.


#1. It never helps the situation to raise the stakes when I am faced with a VERY difficult question: (Do I take this job?, Is this dating relationship working?, How do I impress my boss while remaining cool?, How do I look cool?)



Double Dare Example 1:
Former Girl Friend: Do you think that I need to lose weight?
Double Dare response: Could you repeat the question?
FGF: Do you think that I need to lose weight?
DDR: DARE!
FGF: What?!
DDR: DOUBLE DARE!
FGF: Are you double daring me to lose weight? So you think that I am fat!?
DDR: PHYSICAL CHALLENGE!!
FGF: AND NOW I DON'T EXERCISE ENOUGH!!! MY MOTHER WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU!


#2. Most times you don't want to find things up a nose or under a food item.



Double Dare Example 2:
Scene : Pizzeria

Former Girl Friend: OH Gross! I found a band aid under a piece of pepperoni! Can you get the waiter!?
Double Dare Response : SWEET! Are we going to win a matching set of Rollerblades?
Former Girl Friend: Are you retarded?


My 3rd and final point. It's never good at ANY time to be covered in slime. (Unless you are a new born baby. WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY!)



As many of you know Mark Summers lead a life of lies and deceit. He wanted us to get all sloppy and messy and not necessarily know the capital of random US States, when the whole time he was OCD! How could a guy when likes the fringe on his rugs to be all neat and orderly wish you to be covered in green slime and pull boogers out of a gigantic nose?

Now the saddest part of this posting isn't the fact that I may or may not be growing up, it's the fact that I still find it to be a perfectly reasonable response to challenge someone to a physical challenge when I don't know the answer to a question.

ACK!

Life is crazy! I promised I am going to update this more often, and you know what... I will.

I have been working like a crazy person! I mean it’s not enough to work 40 hours a week at a job, but between Master Debaters, 10 minute talk show and other acting projects I barely have time for myself. I found that I am going to have to take Monday nights off. That’s my day off.

Heart your faces.

Best and worst pranks calls ever

First off in both of these instances I would like to say (ahem) “ SCREW YOU CALLER ID!” Back in the day, pre Caller-ID days, you could prank call people and it was AWESOME. I know when ever someone calls me and my Caller-ID says “Blocked” or “Unavailable”, I don’t answer. So way to go Caller-ID, way to put an end to prank calls. Do you think that the people that invented Caller-ID were just angry from getting pranked all the time. “We’ll put an end to your pranks” Then they would cry in their D&D books. (No offense D&D players)

Best worst prank ever:

The “Hey it’s me, what’s up?” call. It didn’t always work but when it did, AWW MAN! Here’s how it was supposed to work. You call your mark up. Let’s call him “Paul”. Paul answers, you just say, "Hey Paul, it’s me. What’s up?” Paul then will assume that he knows who he’s talking to. At this point, you keep the convo fairly vague looking for conversation clues.. Wife’s name, or kids, or what ever. Also, knowing something about your mark helps.. For an example, if you know that Paul is athletic talk about sports... This is where the prank gets good. You suggest that you and Paul meet up at a restaurant, or play basketball at a certain time. You arrive about 5 minutes before and watch Paul get stood up. Oh the call later must be great.

BEST PRANK!
The ordering a bunch of pizzas to someones house. If someone did that to me (please don’t do this unless you are going to pay for the pizzas) it would be AMAZING. Think about it.. you are at home, next thing you know there is a knock on the door.. BAM 5 pizzas waiting for you. It’s like a dream come true. That would be so great. Again, please don’t do this to me. But still.. awesome.

Christopher and the Angry Bear

As life goes on, I realize that everyone learns things about themselves. I have come to realization that I have an angry bear that lives inside of me. This angry bear, let’s call him Henry, doesn’t make his presence known often. Henry only comes out when I am hungry and haven’t eaten in a while. Henry isn’t the smartest beast in the forest, but he knows what he wants and will not be distracted by meaningless tasks until he has eaten what he craves. Great question, humble reader : what does Henry like to eat? Henry will eat just about anything, as long as it doesn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to prepare and start enjoying. Does Henry also lurk in the shadows? No, Henry is not a ninja... He is how ever quite focused on eating. Does Henry like to be called Hank? What? What are you talking about!? Where’s my peanut butter sandwich?!

Well.. I better go. I need to feed Henry.

Inspiration

I have heard that people are really motivated by two emotions. Anger and Excitement. For the most part, I think that is true. I mean I am the MOST productive when I am not happy about a situation or I am just beginning a new task. I would say remembering what the goal is a HUGE part of it.

When in doubt; you need a power jam. (This I am taking from Maximumfun.org) Everyone needs a power jam. I would say I have 2.

New posts...

So, this is going to start changing, it is going to be a mix of video and text. I am going to start by posting a writing that I did. I don’t know where this story is going, but I like how it started...


Let me know your thoughts.

As I lit what I knew would be my last cigarette, I had already made up  

my mind of what was going to have to happen. My mind swirling with  

possible outcomes, none of which seem obtainable or plausable. Just as  

i begin to feel the burn of that first slow drag of that cigarette,  

the cool night air sent a shiver up my spine. Being from a small town  

in the mountains of colorado, I would have never expected that the  

wind could do that to me. Now that I think about it, it wasn't the  

wind, it was the realization of the choices I had made have brought me  

to this moment. The moment before I go inside and have to kill another  

human being.
